Let the Boob Jokes Begin. July 13, 2009
I knew it would happen. I guess anyone who gets a breast augmentation should expect it. Of course, blogging about my mommy makeover to the whole world just opens the flood gates for people to comment on my personal choice.
Honestly, I don't mind. This weekend I was asked about having my own "personal flotation devices" and I was teased about my nine-year-old son's height and his proximity to my chest. And let's not forget the references to wet t-shirts when it started raining. LOL.
I will say this – 99% of the comments here on the blog and those emailed to me personally have been very positive, very encouraging and very supportive. Thank you, everyone who is following my mommy makeover journey and wishing me safe surgery.
I have only been surprised by one comment so far asking how I could be "so full of myself" that I would blog about this experience. To that person, I would just like to say this: Are you kidding? Have you seen the pictures I've posted? It's one thing maybe to post "before" photos right next to "after" photos, but I don't even have those yet. I'm posting my pictures, my feelings, my experiences online so that other women who are considering also taking the mommy makeover journey, will have more insight into the process than I currently have. I want people to see that I'm a normal everyday mom, living and working like most moms. And most of all, I want to empower other women, especially those moms who always take care of everyone else, to have the guts to do something for themselves for once.
(Sigh) Sorry, had to get that off of my chest. Ha ha. Off my chest – that's funny.
Anyway . . . I have a sense of humor, and I'd like to prove it. Let's have a little fun. I'd like to ask you to comment on this blog post with your best boob jokes. You heard me right. If you've been holding back, now is the time to let loose. I want to hear them. And to all those ladies who have already "enhanced your assets", I'd love to hear some of the fun comments you've endured.
I only have two requests. One, keep it PG-13 and two, don't be mean.
Comment by Dave:
Per your request and demands .........
joke #1- two boobs walk into a bar ... nope, can't tell that one.
joke #2 – two boobs and a nun walk into a bar ... nope, can't tell that one either.
joke #3 – the left boob turns to the right boob and says .... nope, can't tell that one either!!
OK, I'll have to think about your request ....
Comment by Terri:
Emily, I've heard a lot of jokes since having my enhancement – but none that fit your requests of being PG-13 and "don't be mean". I've been teased, and I take it all in stride. I'm not one to be too concerned about what people think. You sound like you're prepared to have a good sense of humor for the responses and comments you'll get after your surgery. Good luck, honey.
